A little harsh? No disrespect, but the guy was just posting relevant news. I see no harm.

That’s PRDATR for ya. Spewing negativity. Haven’t seen him show his face since he said we deserved the 9/11 attacks. Go back to your cave now

Really? Late for the "party" huh? Not my kind of "party". Some sick sh!t going on. This ain't no party there amigo. Unless it's a hangin "party"😉

ATTENTION! As a result of the diesel fuel in the water tank, the Arizona Elk Society is offering a $2,500 reward, upon conviction, to find the culprit of the vandalism.

Diesel fouling tanks, 5 hits no recovery, shots fired...what the heck is wrong with people? All this over elk? I love the dang things as much or more than most guys but I will give it all up before I stoop low enough to pull any of that nonsense! People have no respect for anything anymore. All they care about is that dang Instagram pic it seems. I don't know if its social media and instant access to info so we just know more about these incidents now or if there are really that many bungholes out there. Its despicable none the less!

It's been a lot of years trying in NM and a couple in AZ and I finally managed an archery coues. my first velvet buck as well. I went In for a few days opening weekend and saw a lot of bucks, even had a few spikes and does in range but nothing I could justify shooting. When I got a few days off my girlfriend encouraged me to go back in. I saw a lot of deer but still got my but kicked for about 3 days in the back country. The last day I decided to take it easy, slept in, dried my gear out by the fire for a few hours, struck camp and started hiking out around 9 or 10. I wanted to stop and do a little glassing on the way out but before I could even get to my ridge I spotted a nice buck across the canyon from me. I tried to slide off of a steep hill to cut him off in the bottom but before I made it far a train of about 8 horse riders came down the trail between him and I. Naturally he ghosted, a few does ran out the far side and I gave up. I decided to drop down under cover of their commotion, hit the bottom and slowly worked my way up canyon expecting nothing but still moving slow and quiet just in case. Sure enough despite the riders he had kept right along his line and I spotted him in the bottom. I was able to connect a shot at 33 and had him out in a few hours. beat the heck out of packing an elk out! looks like it wont let me upload a file. I'll try to get a pic in a follow up

Do you have a problem still? I would rather keep the dog than her go to some idiotic asshole like you. Why dont you stop being a keyboard warrior and move on or are you so bad butt you have to keep talking shoot on here. If you dont like couesewhitetail.com why dont you leave? Most people dont post here because assholes like you. As far as this site being for “wannabes” what the heck do you know about hunting that makes you so special because im sure most guys on here including myself know more than you do and you are making accusations based off shoot you dont know. You are pathetic having to talk shoot on a post. I hope no one has to deal with any idiots like you on here in their posts.

Poor elk. They’re just out there trying to live and these little ape creatures are shooting razor sharp sticks at them

My hunt started around 6 weeks ago when my son and I decided to hike some cameras and treestand into some remote country. A couple weeks after that him and a friend dove in and checked pictures and hung another treestand for me. We had several really nice bucks hitting his stand area and a couple good ones at mine. We could not head in until opening morning so we spent the first 3.5 hours of friday hiking into camp. My son passed up a decent buck that first evening as I sat around camp recuperating from the hike in. Day 2 my son missed what he called a giant and from the scouting pictures if it was the buck he thinks it was he is right. On Sunday morning I shot my best archery Coues buck as it is my only archery Coues buck. After a few more chances we packed out after 7 days spent in the Az back country. The trail cam pic is one of the bucks he missed (we think).

Don’t, I repeat don’t, look through any of lance’s scopes!

Buy a suppressor now and you should have it by next year.

One cartridge that you don't hear to much about anymore that would make a good starter is the .257 Roberts, to light for elk, but would be excellent for Deer and Javelina and antelope. I had one and it was a little light for what I wanted it for, so it was quickly rebarreled to 6.5x55.

My wife makes it too occasionally. She has rheumatoid arthritis and bone broth and things with good gelatin like broth made with chicken feet, bones, etc is supposed to be very good help reduce inflammation.

So next year Im putting my 10 year old daughter for deer and elk. Im a tikka fan and I would love to get the Swede 6.5x55 but they are hard to find. I already have creedmoor set up for reloading, so just thinking about getting a regular tikka 6.5 creedmoor. How less of a recoil is it really if I go with 120 grains than 140 grains. Im thinking probably not much. I would love to go with 120s or 130s. Any thoughts trying to get biggest gun with best recoil.

Ok...I'm about to cry... bull number 6 was just hit! Praying he finds him and the carnage is over. All of his shots are apparently coming from a blind on a water hole at under 40 yds!

How do you shoot a "broken" rifle? Or do you mean "braked"? 😉

I quess only his hair dresser knows for sure 😎

11 posts. Never to return again.

Blah Blah Blah. Been allover the web for a couple of days. You're really late to the party.

Kuiu. There I said it.

guys hit them with rifles in 22 from 1000 yards and dont even look for sign because the bulls dont look hit hard

A Chevy diesel with a burnt out front light and a light bar. Looks like 30 trucks I see everyday. Shoulda described what logo was on the drivers flat brim.

I can't say that I am too surprised. Colt has been in a precarious position for nearly 20 years now (as far as civilian sales go). Their standard ARs don't differentiate themselves from other manufacturers. They launched their retro series (at $2500 a gun). Those haven't sold well at all - especially with Troy and Brownells selling retro rifles of equal quality for under $1K. For 2019, Colt started roll marking their carbines as M4s. My buddy went to buy one, but couldn't find any. Everyone still had guns in stock from 2016-2018. That means that those with the new rollmark are at distributors....sitting.

When I first got this buck on camera early in July I knew he had a messed up right side. I really didn’t think he would be much of a buck. Didn’t really give him much thought. Beginning of August he was starting to look better but still not interested in hunting him. By the end of August I decided he was the buck I wanted. Problem was he was in low mesquite county and no real place to glass him up. I knew I would have to sit a blind on water. Opening morning I went to my blind at daylight at 10:15 I was standing up stretching and he walked in 20 yards away. As I sat down and grabbed my bow he winded me and left. 2nd and 3rd day sat all day he never came in . I was burned out sitting in that heat in a blind. I decided to let him sit and check my camera in a few days to see if he returned. He finally returned 7 days after he winded me. I sat day 8-9 with no luck. On Labor Day I decided to hang out with the family and sit the blind the next 2 days. That evening on Labor Day I went in to adjust my seat in my blind. That way everything would be ready for the next 2 days. As I was walking into the blind as soon as I saw the water tank I was shocked he was getting water. A small buck with him heard me and ran a few yards then stopped. I ranged the big buck he was 62 yards. I sat down in the grass and he went back to drinking. I drew back stood up I knew this would probably be my last chance since last time I spooked him he disappeared 7 days. I put my 60 high and let it go. Arrow hit a little high but hit the spine and he dropped. I guessed him to be 115-118 but was very happy once I walked up on him he was bigger than I thought. Hardest part was sitting in a blind daylight tell dark in 105 temperatures.

Here's a special story that I'm proud to share with you! My nephew Tyler drew a tag for Javalina and did it right from start to finish ultimately taking his first big game animal with one shot! Great job buddy, I know it's the first of many! Here's his story in his words.... Hi my name is Tyler Mullins and I am 11 years old. For a long time my papa, dad and uncles have been hunting and I couldn’t wait until my dad would let me go out hunting with them. I am thankful that my dad would take me on lots of scouting trips during my summer breaks looking for big bulls and teaching me how to find animals. After every scouting trip I could not wait to get started on my first big game hunt.I was finally able to get my hunter safty class finished and then I had to shoot alot and make some scouting trips for pigs. I did shoot a lot but we never saw any pigs when were scouting. There was lots of tracks but the wether was bad every time we went out. I was shooting a old 308 magnum that my uncle tom shot his first pig with when he was my age with papa in the same unit I hunted for my first hunt. Opening day of my hunt came and I was very excited to go find some pigs. The wether was bad agin so my dad said that we would go glassing and scouting our hunting area. We drove a long time until we found a spot that “PW” the pig whisperer, (thats what my uncle calls him) told my dad about. The spot looked really good and not long after we sat down to glass for animals my dad said I got pigs. I got to look through the binos at them and it was awesome to see them running around and how cool it would be if I could get one of them. Me, my brother Cody, dad and travis were going after them now. Travis is a friend of my dad and he had a pig tag too but he said that I could shoot one first before he would shoot one. Thanks to travis he waited for me to shoot first and the pigs got away that time. My Uncle Jim and papa couldn’t be there until later on the first day so they would have missed me shooting my first pig. My dad called papa and jim to tell them that he has a good spot now and to hurry up and get there. We left those pigs to go get my uncle for the afternoon hunt. Uncle jim got to camp and it was getting late so we went out to try varmit calling. Uncle Jim turn on the call and said that a fox was coming tous. Then he said that another fox was coming and then he said bobcat. I didn’t know what to do so I just kept the gun pointed where he said the fox was. All of a sudden I could see the fox right in front of me. Uncle jim said there he is and then I shot, BOOM the fox was gone. I hit him really hard because I saw the hair go everywhere and all I could find was meat and hair. I will use a smaller gun when I hunt foxes with Uncle jim again. I had a really fun time with everybody that afternoon but we never saw anymore pigs that day.Now the second day of my hunt was starting. We went to the same spot from the first day where I could not get the shot at the pigs. The wether was going bad again but we had Uncle Jim, PW, papa, Travis, Cody and dad to help find me a pig. PW (Brian) found some pigs really fast and I got excited again. We were looking at the pigs in the binos for a minute and my dad said there is pigs right by us. I saw a coyote running past me with the pigs running after him. Now I was really excited. The pigs turned and went back down the canyon and we went to the edge to look for them. We couldn’t find them again so PW went to find some more. After PW left us Uncle Jim found my pig in the canyon by some trees trying to get out of the rain. There was 2 pigs so Travis could shoot one too this time but I still got to shoot first. Uncle Jim told me to get down and try to get a rest and then find the pig in my scope. I found the pig and then took my safety off and shot her. I had my first big game animal down. There was still 1 pig there so travis got to get his pig too. We were all soo excited and I couldn’t believe I finally got my pig. Papa, Uncle Jim, PW, Cody and Dad were so excited for me and Travis and I was too. It was awesomeI am thankful that my papa taut my dad and uncle how to hunt so they could teach me how to hunt. I would like to thank dad, mom, papa, my uncles, PW, Travis, and Cody for being with me on my first hunt. Thanks mostly to God for every thing I have in my life.
